At the moment when the rumors in the market were flourishing, the municipal party committee convened an emergency standing committee, and the secretary of the municipal party committee said that "Comrade Chen Kui suddenly fell ill while he was out and is now being rescued in the hospital", which gave people more opportunities to interpret and exerted greater room for association.

Now everyone in officialdom knows that some seemingly short news often contains really big news in it. Even many ordinary people have summed up similar rules from watching the news all year round, and they will also make various speculations. Therefore, the short sentence of the secretary of the municipal party committee has undoubtedly become a propellant for people to actively speculate about the truth.

In just over half a day, the various reasons for Chen Kui's illness were spread all over the world. These civil servants of the municipal party committee and government have become the objects of their relatives and friends vying to learn about the inside information.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning of August 28, the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee convened an emergency standing committee again. The participants included not only members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but also deputy mayors and members of the Party Group of the Municipal Government.

Xue Tao's tone was even heavier: "Comrades, at 5:32 this morning, Comrade Chen Kui died in the hospital due to ineffective rescue. Please stand and observe a moment of silence in memory of Comrade Chen Kui. ”

Many people have heard of this news for the first time, but some people have already known about it in advance. This result was expected by many people, but now the secretary specifically proposed it at the meeting, and that is a sure thing.

People quickly got up, bowed their heads and stood in silence for Chen Kui.

It seems that everyone's expressions are solemn, but they are all deserting in their hearts: who is the new mayor, when will he take office, and who of these people is the most dramatic now?

After the silence, everyone returned to their seats.

"Comrades, I am very saddened by the passing of Comrade Chen Kui, and I believe that everyone is the same as me. However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and we must turn our grief into strength and strive to do a better job, and this is the best sorrow for Comrade Chen Kui. After a pause, Xue Tao said, "The Dingye Municipal Party Committee has approved that Comrade Peng Shaogen, member of the Standing Committee of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor of the government, will preside over the work of the Chengkang Municipal Government. ”

Hearing this, people turned their eyes to Peng Shaogen's face. But the other party's expression was serious, his eyes did not squint, and he couldn't see his expression of joy and anger.

"Comrade Chenggong, you have to contact the Dingye Municipal Party Committee, and then contact Comrade Chen Kui's family to contact Comrade Chen Kui's funeral. Comrade Zhiping, it is up to you to cooperate with Comrade Chenggong to do this work. Xue Tao continued, "Comrade Jiang Xia, the Propaganda Department should actively contact the relevant departments at the higher level, communicate with the funeral team in a timely manner, and the external propaganda organs should do a good job of releasing the news of Comrade Chen Kui's death in a timely and rigorous manner. ”

Jiang Xia, You Chenggong, and He Zhiping all said "yes", which is different from the two words "good" that are often said.

Xue Tao's voice continued, but people were thinking about other things in their hearts: Can Peng Shaogen be directly promoted? Will the new mayor be selected from the existing team? What can he do in it, what benefits can he get, and can he make progress in the ranking? Should he be transferred from other places again?

"Disband", Xue Tao got up first after saying these two words. The others followed and walked out of the room.

Due to the large number of people, Chu Tianqi did not choose to take the elevator, but walked downstairs directly. When he reached the first floor, just as one of the elevators opened, a group of people walked out of it.

"Mayor Tianqi, don't be in such a hurry, let's go back with us. A woman's voice rang out.

You don't have to look back to know who it is. Chu Tianqi replied as he walked: "I still have urgent matters." ”

The woman didn't seem to hear the other party's refusal to go with her, so she quickly followed: "Let's go, let's go." ”

There were so many colleagues in the back, and although Chu Tianqi was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything, but continued to walk briskly.

The woman was almost trotting, so that she could keep up with the other party, but her mouth was not idle: "Mayor Chu, you said that Lao Chen is alive and well, how can you say that he will 'jump' to death when he dies, why do you say this?"

"Mayor Guan, people eat whole grains, who can not get sick? No one dares to guarantee that they will live a tough and tough life, right?" Chu Tianqi lowered his voice as much as possible, and his words were very stiff.

"Mayor Chu, I find that you are very sad about Lao Chen's death? Of course, I am also deeply saddened. Although Guan Liying said "painful", her tone and expression were the opposite, "It's just that you seem to be more 'painful'." ”

"What the hell are you going to say?" Chu Tianqi stopped and glared at the other party.

Guan Liying stopped, subconsciously took a step back, and raised her voice: "Mayor Chu, I can understand that you are deeply saddened by Lao Chen's death, but you don't need to throw face at other comrades." ”

Vixen, unreasonable, after scolding in her heart, Chu Tianqi did not pay attention to the other party again, but accelerated his pace again.

Guan Liying didn't catch up again, but she came to the tune she hummed, and the corresponding lyrics were clearly "I'm so happy today".

……

Chu Tianqi didn't stop on the road, and went up to the fifth floor of the government in one breath. It's not that he is in a heavy mood, but he really doesn't want the woman to catch up, he doesn't want to be bored with the woman.

As soon as I sat down in the office, Lijian came.

Seeing that there were no others in the house, Li Jian entered the door and said: "Mayor, there are new rumors, and the most ferocious one is that Mayor Chen committed suicide in fear of crime." It is rumored that Mayor Chen has been corrupt and corrupt over the years, both making money and receiving money, and many people have given him benefits, saying that he is a person who comes with 'power, money, and sex'. These people who send benefits either let him approve the slips, or let him arrange people, and many companies let him give projects. Rumor has it that a business owner sent him money, but he didn't do anything and sued him. said that Mayor Chen went to the province this time to settle the situation, but the problem was more serious than imagined, and it may have involved the big leaders behind him, so he had to commit suicide to protect the leaders behind him and his family. ”

Chu Tianqi asked, "When did this rumor appear, and are there anything else?"

"It's been there since yesterday, but after he died, it became more ferocious and more vivid. He even said what the boss did and what projects he wanted to contract. After hesitating for a moment, Li Jian said again, "Also, it is said that the government team also has people who give him benefits, and the purpose is to let him give the arranged content in charge, and he will not hesitate to snatch it from others." ”

"Nonsense. "I can hear that this clearly means something. Chu Tianqi waved his hand, "You go first." ”

Sharp Sword walked out of the room.

Chu Tianqi realized that this rumor and even all the rumors had the shadow of Guan Liying.

Judging from these circumstances, Guan Liying hated Chen Kui very much, and longed for Chen Kui's early death, Chen Kui's death made her overjoyed, and she did not hesitate to blatantly express her likes and dislikes. Chu Tianqi was very ashamed of this woman's approach, but he also noticed that Chen Kui was also extremely repulsive to this woman, and he was very targeted. At the government team meeting that day, Chen Kui sneered at Guan Liying, criticized her, and even picked a bone in her eggs. It can be seen from this that there must be some big frustration between the two, otherwise they would not be so needle-pointed, and if they want to get rid of it quickly, the relationship between the two can be summed up in one sentence: a slap can't make a sound.

As for what kind of person Chen Kui is, whether it is as rumored and whether there is any other explanation of the cause of death, Chu Tianqi does not know, and he does not have the desire to know. But the last rumor told by Li Jian was clearly that someone was insinuating himself, and it was precisely based on this thing that came out of nothing that Chu Tianqi firmly believed that Guan Liying was absolutely inseparable from the rumors. Why does this woman have to get along with herself, is it because of the so-called robbery that she is in charge of work? It is said that it is not, right? Or is she influenced by Chen Kui, Guan Liying also transferred her hatred for Chen Kui to herself?

It's really incomprehensible, and I don't know what kind of wind this woman is smoking? But there is no hatred for no reason, this woman must have something to say about herself all of a sudden. There is always a time when pus comes out of the boil, and over time, the clues will definitely be found. Don't think about it yet.

Chen Kui is dead, the new mayor doesn't know when he will take office, and he doesn't know when he will delay the division of labor? Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh, and secretly said in his heart: I hope it will be a good thing.

Over the next two days, rumors were passed on and the version mutated from time to time.

In the past two days, He Zhiping has never come to Chu Tianqi's office again, and he has not even arrived at the unit, and he has been busy with Chen Kui's funeral. When Chu Tianqi went to Chen Kui's house with the Standing Committee members to mourn, he saw He Zhiping's side.

In just a few days, He Zhiping lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were blue, and the bags under his eyes suddenly became bigger. This has something to do with the lack of rest, but more importantly, I am afraid that he is worried about his future. It is no wonder that in this case, a character like He Zhiping is likely to become the child of the stepmother.

……

On the morning of August 30, the Chengkang City Funeral Home "Crane Hall", where the farewell ceremony of Chen Kui's body will be held.

In the "Crane Hall", wreaths are all over the room, the couplets are hanging low, and there is a black-and-white photo of Chen Kui hanging on the back wall of the entrance, and above the photo is a banner with white characters on a black background: Mourn Comrade Chen Kui. Chen Kui's body lay not far from the photograph, surrounded by a glass cover.

At nine o'clock, the mourning music began, and the mourning crowd entered the farewell hall one after another.

Members of the Standing Committee of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee were the first to enter the hall.

Walking into the farewell hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the black and white photo of Chen Kui, as well as the banner on the photo. Chu Tianqi deliberately paid attention to the content of the LED screen, which is below the photo. I saw a piece of white text displayed on the LED black screen: Comrade Chen Kui died at the age of 52 due to fatigue from work during a business trip, sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and after rescue efforts. Comrade Chen Kui is an outstanding party member and a government cadre with outstanding political achievements. Mayor Chen left, salute Comrade Chen Kui, and pay a silent tribute to Comrade Chen Kui.

This text on the LED screen is actually the conclusion of the coffin. It is not known whether there will be any changes in the future, but at least the current conclusion is very positive.

After bowing to the deceased, the Standing Committee members passed by the glass coffin in turn to pay homage to Chen Kui's appearance. After applying makeup, Chen Kui's appearance is very different from what he usually looks like.

Bypassing the glass coffin, the party committees shook hands with Chen Kui's family to express their condolences. Chu Tianqi found that the person standing at the end of the family was He Zhiping, the head of the government office. He Zhiping's eye sockets were red and swollen, and his face was even more haggard, and he was obviously very sad.

When he came out of the farewell hall, the second mermaid who pulled out the farewell rushed in. In this group of people, Chu Tianqi saw Guan Liying and saw the only woman in this group. When Chu Tianqi was about to withdraw his gaze, he found that the woman who was walking smiled, although the smile was very short, but he could see that she was very happy.

Laughing on such an occasion, as for it, Chu Tianqi was very disdainful of this woman.

Walking out of the farewell hall, Chu Tianqi noticed that Peng Shaogen, who should have been in a good mood, was not relaxed on his face. He didn't believe that the executive deputy mayor was driven by grief, but probably more anxiety and worry, about whether the office of mayor, which was so close to him, would be within reach.

In the crowd waiting for goodbye, Chu Tianqi found the shadow of Xiao Xie, Chen Kui's driver. Xiao Xie's expression was no different from the people around him, and he couldn't see the grief or mood.

Walking out of the funeral home, the Standing Committee members rode away. For everyone, Chen Kui is just a passerby in his life, and today is just a final polite farewell to this passerby. In fact, everyone is a passer-by himself, and the backs that hurry by him are also passers-by.
